Accommodations:  Waterfront House, 6 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 5 Baths (Sleeps 14)

One of the most spectacular properties on Puget Sound, this spacious, contemporary four bedroom, three bath home is sited on 155' of “sugar sand” no-bank waterfront facing west/southwest. The 1 ½ acre compound also include two additional cottages, hot tub, private 40’ swimming pool, apple orchard, beautiful gardens, large lawn perfect for croquet, volleyball, badminton, or baseball, and covered beach shelter with firepit.

Build castles on the beautiful sandy beach. Cast for salmon from the shore. Cook an outdoor feast in the beachfront barbecue pit, toast the sunset, and celebrate with your friends at the beach shelter and firepit, right on the beach. A 10 minute stroll to the south are the towering firs and old growth hiking trails of South Whidbey State Park.
The Beachfront House provides 3000 square feet of luxury space, another 1200 sqft in the two cabins, and extensive decking and patios. A major remodel by Seattle architect Bruce Stock and Associates was recently completed with interior styling by designer Lisa Wise. Amazing beach, water, and mountain views are framed from every room. Our two largest bedrooms each include king beds. A third contains a queen bed and twin bunk beds. A fourth contains a twin with trundle bed and opens directly into bedroom three, great for a family arrangement. A huge open plan kitchen offers granite countertops, teak trestle dining set seating 10-12, and every appliance and utensil we could think of. You’ll find oak and cork floors, antique Persian carpets, cedar clad cathedral ceilings, three cozy gas fireplaces, entertainment size deck with outdoor speakers, and an cozy atrium room. Bedrooms Five and Six offer queen beds in their own adjacent cabins. The cabins are also furnished exquisitely, with fine linens and cozy bedding, including a Westin Heavenly Bed in the Beach Cabin. Each cabin has its own bathroom, as well as satellite TV service, phone/intercom, and of course a coffee-maker.
Amenities include a Hotspring hot tub with ozonator, HDTV upstairs with DVD and Satellite service, 46? widescreen HDTV downstairs with Wii system, Wii sports games, and DVD, multi-room stereo with huge CD collection, stainless steel barbeque, teak outdoor furniture, game table, fully stocked gourmet kitchen with all new appliances, double laundry, and a wide selection of games and books.

Watch cruise ships and freighters ply Admiralty Inlet as the sun sets behind the Olympic Mountains. View sunsets from either your deck, or walk down the concrete path to a beach of stunning natural beauty. A concrete path winds down the hillside (35 steps) to a huge lawn with the sandy beach just beyond. Very private. A beach shelter covers a picnic table next to a barbecue pit, right on the beach. Our private heated 40' pool is a lovely option in the summertime. There are many toys and games for younger children and a highchair available for babies. Come visit us on beautiful Whidbey Island!

Perfectly Sited on Whidbey Island’s “Gold Coast”

Our property is sited just north of Bush Point near South Whidbey State Park. There are only a few beachfront homes in our enclave. Most of the shoreline for a mile in either direction is in its natural state. Whidbey Island’s west side real estate is the most highly valued on South Whidbey, with coveted Olympic Mountain, Puget Sound and shipping lane views, sandy beaches, and sunsets. Our particular location just north of the beautiful but densely developed Mutiny Bay area is even better. Recent upgrades have made Whidbey Beachfront House and Cabins the premier vacation rental on Puget Sound- a romantic retreat for 2 couples, or bring the extended family- we accommodate to 14 and are kid-friendly. Enjoy a world-class luxury retreat away from it all, yet just 90 minutes from Seattle!

Why the Owner Chose Greenbank

My husband and I looked for Whidbey Island real estate for 2 years before purchasing this property on Whidbey's westside. It is truly the best beach location on Whidbey, and we bought it for the incredible views, sandy beach and SW facing aspect. Over the past 10 years, we have done extensive remodeling to bring the structures to luxury standards and enjoy sharing our "Kennedy compound" (as friends have termed it!) with newer guests as well as families who return year after year. We donated most of our profits to environmental and women's health charities, with well over $60,000 donated over the past 5 years. We have used VRBO to introduce the property to new guests for over 6 years now.

The Unique Benefits at this Waterfront House

We recently completed a total remodel of the main house, a new beach shelter, and a remodel of the swimming pool. Please check our guestbook comments for reviews- it truly is a spectacular property and is best experienced in person. We have 3 young kids ourselves, and have designed the house to be kid friendly while at the same time providing a luxury experience for the adults. Our kids love the swimming pool in the summertime, the hot tub yearround, and hopping across logs in the lagoon anytime. We have hosted several very successful corporate retreats and hope to do more of these midweek. Please email us for our main website with a complete photo gallery. We hope to be able to host your family gathering, friends retreat, anniversary or milestone birthday celebration, corporate retreat, book club weekend, or romantic getaway on beautiful Whidbey Island!

    • What a great week! We have just returned from a family reunion - and what a success that all 4 sets of families loved the place I chose! I had stayed at the "complex" 4 yr ago before the remodel -- and what a difference the upgrades made. Each family had their own private place to sleep, we all loved being on the beach, with a hottub for relaxation after a chilly morning by the water. Even the young kids adored the sunsets from the deck. We recommend this place highly, with the additional bonus that Nancy was so helpful with any question we asked. Enjoy your trip....

    • I went searching online for a beach house on Whidbey Island where my brothers and I could gather with our families to celebrate our mom's 80th birthday. When I stumbled on Nancy and Al's place, it looked ideal: right on the beach, with lawn, a fire pit and a pool--and two cabins in addition to the main house: perfect for kids and various family constellations. Well, I'm now my family's hero for having found this place...and I quote (when I asked on my way up how the place was), "You just won't believe this place!” No one could get over how special the place was; the pictures on the website don't do it justice. The house, a portion of which was just remodeled, has some stunning features (check out the master bedroom and bath with steam/double-headed shower). We lacked for absolutely nothing in the kitchen, every convenience was there. Nancy and Al managed to furnish the house and both cabins in a way that made us feel warm and at home, at ease with kids there, and at the same time completely pampered. And there is a close to 180 degree view of the water--we almost lived out on the deck… when we weren't on the beach or in the pool or playing highly competitive games of croquet on the lawn. We enjoyed 4 days of September's perfect Indian Summer weather and some of us never once got in the car. Magic, having all of us gathered for dinner at the big table on the deck as the sun set. So many great conversations, so much fun, such a happy time in a gorgeous setting. Everyone wants to make it an annual event. Our mom loved every minute and we are so grateful. Thank you, Nancy and Al!

    • We just spent a wonderful week on Whidbey with friends and family (including some small children) and can't say enough about the property. The newly remodeled bedrooms/bathrooms in the main house were fantastic. My husband and I stayed in the master bedroom - the views were incredible and the bathroom was lovely (huge tub and spacious shower with two shower heads). We all had tons of fun playing in the pool, relaxing in the hot tub and eating meals on the deck of the main house, which, again, has spectacular views (the "railing" is made of glass, which means the view is almost completely unobstructed). Given that we had family visiting as well, it was so nice to have the privacy afforded by the two cabins. Everyone felt that there was plenty of comfortable space to gather as well as plenty of privacy. I'm hoping we can visit again soon!

    • Comment Text: We spent our week vacation together at your beautiful home and had a great time. We usually travel to the Oregon Coast because everyone loves the water but everyone's lives have become so busy we needed to choose a place closer to home. I couldn't believe when I found your place. Then again couldn't believe it was so perfect for our needs. Everyone had something to make them happy. The sleeping arrangements for big families and privacy was perfect. The small cabin snuggled in between the house and large cabin was perfect for teenagers. We fished, swam, and had meals together. The kids built a fort on the beach and sandcastles. I enjoyed just relaxing and watching everyone have a great time. The sunsets and view from the deck and master suite were fantastic. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful home with all of us. We definitely plan on returning next year.

      Our knitting group came for a WONDERFUL weekend of knitting, gabbing, eating, walking, and just enjoying each other's company! We had two unexpected visitors- a bird flew in and a gecko walked in. Since they did not know how to knit they left quickly. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We loved our weekend here and look forward to returning. ** Thank you for sharing a great view, waves, wind, and mountains. It was a perfect place for our Knitzvah Knitting Retreat. ** I had a great time in our beautiful house w/my fabulous friends. Sleeping in the Eagle's Nest was a true treat! Can't wait to return! Best, Ruth, Maggie, Rita, Carol, Sis, Dee, and Barbara

      What a wonderful surprise for our 60th birthday! All were here from tiny Morgan to we aging parental units- the food was amazing, the wines splendid, the laughter constant, small kindnesses abounded, siblings sitting up late under a starry sky catching up w/each other's lives, cousins all tumbling like puppies and sleeping all warm and slightly sandy, firepit flames highlighting each happy face- reluctant good nights as we peel off to our various cozy nests of duvets and soft pillows. Daughters and daughters-in-love sneaking back to main house for just an edge of b'day cake, patient uncles being used a jungle gyms- beach exploring creating new "rivers" to the sound- And oh the sunset- splendiferous indeed- container ships slipping sliently thru the fog and emerging to gie small boys a delighted peek a boo. All this and more in this enchanted place- the perfect setting and your gracious home(s) provided the most wonderful backdrop to a fabulous family frolic. We shall return! P.S. We sure needed the extra day to recover from all that fun. C. Regan and co.
